    Ours is around 20K, though about half of that is going towards our honeymoon, since we decided that's the important thing for us :)

    Ours is around $35k in Sonoma for 90 people.  That doesn't include rings and honeymoon.  Gosh, I don't know how some of you were able to keep it more reasonable!

    i started off with a budget of 25k, then realized it cost that much for just the ceremony and reception!!!  we're having our wedding at a winery that built this grand reception room just about a year ago.  so now the budget is 40k...pretty frightening.  i don't know how to reign in the cost!

    @katy - I feel your pain.  We are having 400 guests and won't have a ton of room in the budget for much after we finish paying for the ceremony/reception site, food and beverages.  My plan right now is to make good use of our "friendors" and LOTS of DIY.  Also, I decided I like candles much better than fancy flower arrangements so I hope to save some $ there.
